Evans Out, Another Vincent in Chairman Race

Reports have it that Jack Evans, surprisingly, is not running for the city council chair left open when current Chairman Vince Gray decided to run for mayor.

Another Vincent — Vince Orange, the former Ward 7 Councilman who ran unsuccessfully for mayor four years ago — is now entering the race to challenge popular At-large Councilman Kwame Brown. Sean Metcalf, who used to be Evan’s chief of staff, is working on Orange’s behalf.
